| Objective: To explore the effect of comprehensive balance training based on somatosensory interaction on the balance ability of stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods: Thirty five stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into observation group (n=18) and control group (n=17). The control group was given the traditional balance training. The observation group received balance training, trunk control training and lower limb strength training. The training was done using somatosensory interaction techniques, combined with mission oriented games. During the treatment, regular rehabilitation treatment was used. Static and dynamic balance function was assessed before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, BBS and FMA scores of lower limbs in both groups were significantly higher than before (P<0.01), and those in the observation group were higher than in the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, the observation group showed significant improvement in the time of stabilization and the average COP velocity when standing in open eyes, closed eyes, one foot in front (P<0.01). The average COP velocity and the time of stabilization in control group were significantly improved as compared with those before treatment (P<0.05, 0.01). There was no significant difference in the average COP velocity when standing in closed eyes and one foot in front. Conclusion: Comprehensive balance training based on somatosensory interaction combined with routine balance training can more effectively improve the static and dynamic balance function of stroke patients with hemiplegia. |
